I got it all answered with little problems. I was confused on some of how I should answer it though. As far as Festools go, I'm just a hobbyist, but I hold a paint gun for up to ten or more hours a day, and have used several different brands. I was filling in all the questions about what I like about the equipment, then it asks how many you buy a year, and I felt if I put zero down, it just made it sound like I was making it all up! Oh well, I would be more than happy to help develop something. We've been trying new guns at work, so far the favorite is the Graco Airpro for ergonomics, but the Anest Iwata really layed a nice finish down.

Took the survey via the magazine site without any problems. Can someone with a business background explain why Festool would become involved in such a detailed survey if they had no interest in developing a product for that market? The cost of developing the survey, and organizing the returned data must have been significant. Gotta' believe they have an interest in the HVLP spray market, despite the official denial. I'm hoping they do offer a product, the competition will keep the other manafacturers on their toes.

I agree with the poster regarding the questions about frequency of purchases. High end spray equipment is much like Festool woodworking equipment, it's worth caring for properly, and repairing when needed. It should last for many years.
